    I had no idea the KKK had their own graduate school for the misguided.

  2. I saw Air Force One in the sky today over Kennesaw mountain. I didn't get a picture, oh well.

    We flew on the 6th before the notams went into effect. The president can get to pgh in less than an hour, so the airspace was open til noon. Then we saw the president in person at 3pm at the convention center. Took two hours to get in.

    Thats just it there though, you said universal OR single payer,. Single payer is a type of universal health care.

    US has a single payer system. The only criteria your really need for that to be true is for part of it to be paid for by "the public"

    I disregard the mistruth that there are many types and degrees of socialism in the world. As Meliai said, you just mean a mixed economy, its your interpretation of what is socialism is

    Then at the end you do the libtard thing of mirroring back what I'm accusing you of "then at last stop presenting your simplistic definitions'

    Socialist roads now, socialist highways, what the hell is a socialist road

    Are you under the illusion that you responded in some intelligent fashion to my comment? You didn't address a single thing I had to say- you just spewed pure ignorant bile.

    Bye.

    Gorilla, don't you know nuthin? Socialism works great, until you run out of other people's money.

  8. Relax a bit and maybe put some facts into your statements.
    Some other people might be uneducated as well on your statement.
    Don't expect everyone knows everything. We aren't all knowitalls. Even if you think we all are.

    Um, I did put some facts in my statement. He didn't challenge them at all- he merely responded with pure vitriol. As a racial minority myself, I quite do not appreciate being likened to the KKK, who, back in their heyday, probably would not have wanted me anywhere in their vicinity.

  10. Neither do i. But look at it this way it's the way how you responded to his comments.
    He responded to your negative comment with that because it came across as though you were calling everyone a knowitall.
    Educate us some more. It's what this is about.

    Trump is a pain in the arse type of bloke. But he was voted in by many people.
    Now he's going through and impeachment investigation.

    Reading your comments I see that you are a fan of his.

    Yeah single payer is a form of universal coverage, so what?

    The single payer system in the U.S. is a restricted system, you have to be 65 or older.

    So, you have no idea that there are different socialist systems?

    Next you use a slur. Gotta get the libtard word in!

    Yes, you posted a simplistic definition.

    What is a socialist road?
    Socialist roads are the result of using tax money gathered from society at large and redistributed for the benefit of the public at large. They are planned, built, and regulated by the government. They are owned by the public, hence the name "public roads".
    Any member of society is free to use them if they abide by the rules of that society.

    These types of roads are different from private roads. Private roads are financed by private individuals or groups. They are planned, built, and regulated by private individuals or groups. That's why they're called private roads.
    Every member of society is not free no use these roads, you have to have permission from the owners to use them. that permission maybe verbal, written, or in the form of a toll or other payment.

    For example, my driveway is a private "road". You have to have permission to use it.
    By the road that connects to my driveway is a public road...I can't charge a toll to every car that passes my house, it's open to "free" public travel.

    No, Suzanne, I am definitely not a fan of Donald Trump. I don't understand why you would say that. He is a jerk and he should not be POTUS. I do think, given the choice we had in 2016- and some of the likely choices the Dems will serve up next year- that he is a lessor of evils. And I am disgusted with the attacks against him by people who have tolerated as bad, and even worse, for years. But a fan of Donald Trump- no way.

    Yes, and you could just as easily make the argument public roads follow a capitalist system

    As everywhere in the world funding for roads mostly comes from fuel excises, that not everyone pays equally, most are now produced by private firms and the community as a whole doesnt benefit from the period of production. They are usually better maintained in wealthier areas. Free if you are a pedestrian, but if driving a car you are still paying taxes in the form or registration, sales tax and of course fuel. All regressive taxes that hit the less wealthy at higher percentages.

    Then we could still argue about whether a tollway is a private or public road, fits the model of socialism or not, when as a pedestrian or cyclist you cant use them anyway, even if you want to pay, so the community as a whole doesnt benefit from the dustribution of that resource.

    Then there are all the public funded roads the public doesnt have access to; government, military sites

    Sure, no one I know of around here is pushing for a complete total socialist system, as you seem to believe.
    You choose a very narrow definition of socialism.
    You seem to paint it as a complete take over of private business and affairs ending in communism.
    Not as it is being implemented in other Democratic countries.

    Your university was not accredited. Mine was fully accredited and allowed all ethnic groups to attend.

    Australians contend they know all about our health care system, socialized roads, and even our executive branch of government? I will believe MeAgain.

    Working as a Fry Station attendant in the university canteen doesnt count as having "gone to college"
